+/**
+ *  Describes a query.
+ *
+ *  The Catalogs Engine may send queries to the client as part of specific
+ *  operations, or as general callbacks. 
+ *
+ *  Querys consist of a message and query items. A query can have just a
+ *  message or just a range of query items or both.
+ *
+ *  The query message can be for example a disclaimer or a plain iformation
+ *  message. The query message is intented to be shown separate from the query
+ *  items.
+ *
+ *  If the query demands some input from the user it will contain query items.
+ *  A query item defines one element of a whole query e.g. credit card number in a purchase 
+ *  information query.
+ *
+ *  Query objects can be used to query a wide variety of things from the
+ *  client: disclaimers, user acceptance for web-connection usage,
+ *  credit card information etc.
+ *
+ *  Example: 
+ *
+ *  message: "Please enter creditcard information to complete the purchase"
+ *  queryitem: "Creditcard owner:"
+ *  queryitem: "Creditcard expiration date:"
+ *  queryitem: "Creditcard number:"
+ *  
+ *
+ *  Querys can be sent from a server at any time so the client needs to
+ *  be prepared to handle them.
+ *  
+ *  Most operations use querys when user interaction is needed.
+ *
+ *  @note Query objects don't do any validity checks for input data.
+ *
+ *  @note: Querys are simple objects that have no connection to Catalogs Engine
+ *         of their own. The object that sent the query may need to be notified of
+ *         the completion of the query (e.g. MNcdOperation::QueryCompleted).
+ *
+ *  @see MNcdQueryItem
+ *  @see MNcdOperation
+ *  @see MNcdProviderObserver
